The model is the Golf 1.9 GT TDi PD 130bhp model.

UK price is £16,055.00 OTR - much less if you import one - about £13,900.00 OTR

Economy with loads of torque for real world driving - just what the doctor odered

Any suggestions on reputable importers?

I've looked at jamjar, virgin and broom-broom.com so far.

I've got a silver one arriving tommorrow for a customer and one for my dad in 2 weeks.

having driven the 115bhp I am expecting good things from the 130bhp.

The torque from idle to about 2500rpm on the 115bhp is awsome for a diesel - it shocks a few people at the traffic light grand prix. As for cruising, it is using about 35+mph per 1000rpm in 6th gear which is good fro economy, I've had an indicated 67mpg registering on the onboard computer.

I'm not sure about all the model codes - what's the cheapest 130bhp hatchback you can get new?
